Eating-Day 12

I ate one strawberry before my run. It was not enough. I ate the rest after my swim with my omlette. I did not like the carrots in the omlette.

Snack was fine. I split up all 3 items over about 2 hours.

I finished my last 3 pesto pizzetas for lunch.

I had Kashi cereal and soy milk for my snack.

Then, I ate 1/2 a roll, and it went downhill. I went out to dinner. I had chicken tortilla soup (I could have asked for no cheese or sour cream to save on some fat and calories). I had a turkey burger with lettuce and tomato and avocado. I asked for the mayo on the side and added a little to each bun. I had a salad instead of fries. I chose ranch on the side, but could have picked a vinaigrette instead. Then, I ate 10-12 steak fries dipped in ranch and 1 chiken strip. I felt disgusting. That's definitely gonna show up in my weigh in.

Weight:213.3 (up .6 from yesterday)

Exercise-Day 12

I almost walked for my 36 minutes. But, I jog/walked and had great times. My mile was 14:12 and my 2 mile was 28:30. I was wiped out but very proud.

I did my 10 minute body weight exercises. I had to rest in between the two sets.

I swam for 20 minutes.

Exercise-Day 11

I took a 20 minute walk with my hubby which was nice.

I did two sets of my circuit training for the arms. I used 8 pound dumbells.

I swam for 25 minutes since I felt like I hadn't gotten a lot of cardio.

Exercise-Day 10

I got up a 6:00 and put on my running clothes. After fixing the kids breakefast and eating one of my blueberry muffins, I was off. I jog/walked 5:11 before stopping. I am getting around two corners in that time. I will make it to the third corner on my next run.

My one mile time was 14:42. I am still shooting for 14:30.
My two mile time was 30:40. I did a total of 34 minutes.

I did my 10 minute body weight exercises.

I swam for 20 minutes.

Update:10:25 p.m.-I just walked for 27 minutes on the treadmill at 2.5 on level 5 incline and burned 150 calories, or one cookie, since I ate another one after my last post. AARGH!

Exercise-Day 9

I started off with a twenty minute walk. It was muggy, so it made me tired.

I started my circuit training today. I used 8 pound dumbells. I only made it through one set since my back was hurting.

I swam for 15 minutes and scrubbed the darn murky pool for 20.

Exercise-Day 8

Okay, here is how I am working it. Each morning as I set out with the intention of adding two more minutes to my jog/walk session, I am focusing on my mile time and extending my jogging. So, this morning I jogged for 4:55 before the jog/walk began. I really was shooting to get my mile in at 14:30, but I came in at 14:58. I finished my second mile just as my 32 min. expired. Perfect.

I came in and did my 10 minute body weight exercises.

I had every intention of swimming laps, but after 30 minutes of scrubbing algae off the sides and bottom of the pool, from inside the pool, I was done.

Tomorrow begins my first day of circuit training. No walk is scheduled, but I may just walk one mile as a warm up.

Exercise-Day 7

Day of Rest

Exercise-Day 6

NADA! Unless you count the stairs at the hotel and the one basket I made at the church. (That would be a basketball basket)

Exercise-Day 5

I got up too late to exercise. With all my running around today and me wanting to relax on a Friday night, I just didn't think it was going to happen. However, I am determined, so I put on my running shoes, grabbed Nathan on his rip-stick and Katie on her roller blades and I hit the pavement at 9:30 p.m. I jog/walked for 28 minutes.

My mile time was 14:48!

I did my 10 minute body weight exercises.

I swam laps for 15 minutes.

All this was done by 10:45.

Whew!

Exercise-Day 4

I did not sleep well last night. I went to bed with a headache and woke up many, many times. So, when I rolled out at 9:00 this morning, I was not feeling up to going outside and running. I started to feel discouraged, but I made a goal to walk on the treadmill at noon. I did 26 min, the majority at 3.0 on level 4 incline.

Then I swam for 15 minutes.

I just finished my 10 minute body weight exercises. I am proud of myself for getting everything in.

Exercise-Day 3

I got out at 9:00 this morning. Imagine that, it was still hot. I jog/walked for 24 minutes. My mile time was 15:18. Each day I am increasing my time by 2 minutes and trying to shave time off my mile.

I did my 10 min. body weight exercises.

I swam for 15 minutes.

Exercise-Day 2

I got out a little earlier this morning. It was 9:30, but still hot. I jog/walked for 22 minutes. My mile time was 15:51.


I did both sets today of my 10 min. body-weight exercises.



I swam for 15 minutes

Exercise-Day 1

I didn't get out the door until 10:00 this morning and it was hot. But, at least I went. I jog/walked for 20 minutes. My one mile time was 17:15.

I came home at did my 5 minute mobility and body-weight exercises. I forgot to do the second set.

Then I swam free-style laps for 15 minutes.

I am proud of my efforts.
